0:10 Hi, I'm Mariko Takahashi. Can you guess who this is? Yes, it's me. 0:16 You can't believe it, huh? Thanks. But what I want to say here is hope, that anyone could do it. 0:23 But the point is not only to lose weight. That's likely to fail. 0:28 The important thing is for you to become strong. If you can build the upper body strength, you can lift things much easier. 0:36 Beautiful arms showing from your summer dress is not a dream. 0:39 That's what you want, right? 3 days a week or every other day, we'll be building muscular strength. 0:45 That's what this video's about. Beauty and strength. This is connected to everything in life, connected to victory and happiness. 0:53 Victory and happiness is the most important thing for everyone. 0:57 Okay, let's go. 1:00 Pump the arms like you're in the mud. Shoulders down, chest open. 1:06 Tighten your stomach. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Always slow and strong. 1:12 4 more coming. 4, breathe it out. And 3, think it up.
